I've got some HD footage I recorded and now loaded into imovie but I can see no way to simply save a frame as a bmp or jpg from it, anyone ?
Cracker says, "Just capture the still image".
How? You don't say HOW to capture the still image. Do you mean a standard screen capture? The resolution won't be high enough. When I search in iMovie for 'capture' I get no response.
I was proficient at earlier versions of iMovie, but I gotta say... iMovie 09 sucks. It is not intuitively obviously how I'm supposed to get most things done...
I havent checked if its still available in '09, but in iMovie '08 you could skim to the frame you want to capture, secondary-click and there is an option for "Add still frame to project" or similar
You could then secondary-click on the frame it has captured and choose "show in finder" to access a file copy of the image (which i recall is saved somewhere within the iMovie project's package file)
Sorry - we posted at the same time!
Really? It's pretty obvious to me that the "confusion" comes about from people not bothering to read the thread fully. Not the first time, won't be the last, but it ain't no mystery.I don't understand what the confusion is about then.
Well I have read all the posts so ...Really? It's pretty obvious to me that the "confusion" comes about from people not bothering to read the thread fully. Not the first time, won't be the last, but it ain't no mystery.
Thank you. This adds a single still frame to the project. This frame can then be revealed in the finder, exported and tweaked.Hold down the control key then if you have a non right click mouse ;-) Just like you have to do all across the operating system if you have a non right click mouse...
Come on peoples this is not rocket science Where ever you are just right click and select add still frame to project....
Thanks. The single still picture problem is solved.You can export using quicktime as a still image sequence...I do that to make animated gifs....Just set the frame rate you want to export as and off you go....Then again if you want to analyse, just zoom in on the timeline in iMovie to a single frame level and step through it one by one....
